Mt. Hood Personal Injury Attorney

If you near Mt. Hood Oregon you’re very aware that it’s not the most boisterous community in all of Oregon with a population of only 4,864 which encompasses several communities in the combined government named The Villages at Mount Hood. These communities of the Mount Hood Corridor include Brightwood, Welches, Wemme, Zigzag and Rhododendron.

The reason these small communities united as The Villages at Mount Hood was due to the Oregon Department of Transportation requiring that a town create a government agency in order to get a grant to grow their Mount Hood Express bus system. While the Mt. Hood and its surroundings may be small in terms of population and boast a robust public transportation system it is still no stranger to personal injuries both automotive and recreational.

Mount Hood host the 28th Most Prominent Peak in the US which leads way to many personal injury accidents on its six ski areas, National Forest, 1,200 miles of hiking trails, four designated wilderness areas with volcanoes, glaciers and many other prominent features.

I was involved in a personal accident case where the insurance company denied responsibility for nearly two years and we eventually had to go to trial. Ryan helped me through the whole process, answering my questions and keeping me informed as to what was next in the process. My first recommendation is to never get involved in an accident but if you are and an insurance company is trying to treat you unfairly, contact Ryan and he will make sure you’re informed about your rights and your best course of action. Can’t imagine where I’d be in this process without his expertise. Thanks again Ryan.

Ryan is a terrific lawyer and a better person. He went above and beyond to reach a settlement in my case and believed in it when no one else did. He’s very intelligent and caring and is always putting the best interests of his clients before his own. Ryan knew more about my case than I even did. He is truly dedicated to his clients, and I can not explain how much I honestly appreciated that. I recommend that you give him a shot if you need to hire an attorney. He won’t let you down.
